<p>When a patient has an initial evaluation, the provider fills out the Initial Evaluation form and specifies on the form the next appointment date. This sets the appointment process in motion.

<p>A patient has attended an appointment within the grace period range.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Update Process:</p>
<p>The patient comes in at the specified date (or within the grace period) for one or more reasons – for a follow up exam, to pick up medication or to have lab tests. Any of these actions are considered meeting an appointment. When these forms are entered into IQCare, IQCare detects that a patient activity occurred and changes the appointment from “Pending” to “Met.” </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>If several forms have been filled out for a patient during their visit to the clinic, the first date that meets the status change criteria should be recorded in the system. This will inevitably be driven by the order the forms are keyed into the IQCare. The type of form that was used to change the status should be recorded.</p>
